Williamson, Office of Technology Assessment/US Congress Andrew R. Wolff, Cleveland, OH Space Power is an international journal for the presentation, discussion and analysis of advanced concepts, initial treatments and ground-breaking basic research on the technical, economic and societal aspects of large-scale, space-based solar power, space resource utilization, space manufacturing, and other areas related to the development and use of space for the long-term benefit of humanity. Papers should be of general and lasting interest and should be written so as to make them accessible to technically educated professionals who may not have worked in the specific area discussed in the paper. Editorial and opinion pieces of approximately one journal page in length will occasionally be considered if they are well argued and pertinent to the content of the journal. Submissions should represent the original work of the authors and should not have appeared elsewhere in substantially the same form. Proposals for review papers are encouraged and will be considered by the Editor on an individual basis.
